Not trying to be snarky, just not as familiar: what do F9 pilots get that NK pilots don't?

125% credit per hour over 82 hour of credit is a big one.

Got it, thanks. I prioritize QOL things like schedule flexibility above pay (if I prioritized pay I'd simply go elsewhere). Does Frontier have any advantages on that front?

I was just recently offered a CJO from spirit..?
Does this change anything??

Especially if you are reserve in base. I rarely get called (for now) and so I don’t mind picking up a few trips on my days off. It adds up quickly especially if I’m picking up a premium trip at 1.25%.

Other than that, not much more than NK. It is nice not to have to wear sunglasses on a walk around though.

They get more vacation at frontier. I think it is substantially better, I can’t remember the details though.

They called in sick during their 2 weeks notice.

Correct, reserves pick up on their days off. Open time trips or premium trips.
